Humanity is about to become extinct. A rare disease has transformed human beings into bloodthirsty zombies. Only a small group of humans, barely a dozen, has managed to survive the zombie barbarism refuge in an old abandoned Russian military base in the middle of the frigid Siberian steppe .

However, their survival is about to end when hordes of thousands, millions of zombies threaten to rob the old base.

There are many gaps and few men to defend them, the ammunition is scarce, the food even more, there are hardly any medicines or bandages with which wounds heal .

Night falls on the cold steppe, perhaps the last for the meager remnants of the once powerful civilization.

It gives the alarm, one last flare is thrown, and under dim light , observe advocates horror as huge masses of deformed beings assault walls ............. they defend is given the order to fire, the thunderous sound of guns envelops everything.......... it hear the shrill cries of one of the defenders who fell while being devoured by horrible creatures.

The last glow of the flare fades ............. in absolute darkness, man and beast fight in his last fight ............... ... there is silence , there is no more cries........ no more weapon's noise, only hear the eerie sound of thousands of starving people looking for another victim to be fed, but it seems it is no more ....... ............................. a moment, a strange sound seems to come from the bottom of an old warehouse of the base......... immediately directed all the beasts rushed, even fighting each other to get the first , to the sound source .

When they reach the store, at first see nothing, the sound has ceased and the deepest darkness does not help .................... but soon heard the sound again, and, almost immediately, a light comes on .......... a light that floods the entire warehouse, now crowded with creatures, and that seems to arise from a corner of it ......... . a light that allows the dark beasts watching a human, dirty, bloody , crippled on floor with his back against the wall. It is he who produces the strange sound that has brought them here to all those zombies have gotten into the store and thousands, millions of them surrounding huddle waiting to find another victim who take up their ugly mouths and which satisfy their insatiable appetite ........................... but what's that sound?, how it produces the human?, ask the hellish creatures .... ....... well, you wonder if any of them had anything resembling a brain in to ask anything, while looking at each other strangely human that does not seem to be afraid , do not try to run away, not attempt to attack or defend . They don't know that if he wanted to, the human has nothing to defend himself, not a single bullet with which to end his life, and even if he did, are these the wounds that caused the fight, his last fight, is much blood has been lost, so few forces that detract, he can barely even keep your eyes open, breathing ......................... .... well, this is not entirely true ............ still retains a glimmer of energy, which if not allowed to flee or defend themselves, if he can produce that sound strange that both zombies seems to surprise ............... but what sound heck is that? , why human uses his last breath to produce it ?, zombies are still wondering, well if they had something ..........

The sound is no other than human laugh, a laugh deaf, dying. The laughter of someone who knows that his life has come to an end, and with it that of the whole human race ............ but is that reason to laugh ? , Does the order of humanity laughing matter ? Under normal circumstances, but it are not, and also the situation is not without grace. For with his death, and that is something that the zombie rotten brains fail to understand, with the death of the last of the humans, with the death of the last of the creatures that serve as sustenance, because it know the zombies only feed on humans , the end of humanity means to zombies themselves. So human is laughs, because he, unlike zombies, if able to understand the humor of the situation .................. one of the zombies, such once the dumbest , or most hungry, fed up with the absurd situation for him, starts to move towards the ailing human form, and after him the rest of the shapeless mass, starting with this movement the beginning of the end for his kind. One last laugh, high, louder this time, it hear, then ........ silence.
